The P30 series also continues the tradition of the standard and Pro versions, with significant differences in configuration. The first is the screen, the P30 is a 6.1-inch Samsung AMOLED screen, and the Pro is a 6.47-inch BOE or LG OLED curved screen, both with a resolution of 1080 x 2340, but due to the different sizes, the P30 is 422PPI, slightly higher than the Pro's 398PPI. At the same time, because the screen of P30 adopts PenTile arrangement, ProAdopt BOE's GGRB arrangement, it is also P30 in terms of delicacy of appearance. In addition, the Pro version is low-frequency PWM dimming at a brightness of less than 99%, and under the same brightness, the strobe is more obvious than the standard version, and the screen quality is not as good as the standard version.
Another difference is the camera, the Pro version will have an 8 million pixel IMX520 telephoto, plus a periscope structure, which can achieve up to 50x digital zoom, while the standard version of the telephoto is OV08A10, 8 million pixels, triple optical zoom, and does not support 50x digital zoom. The P30 Pro has a wide-angle camera of 20 million pixels, the IMX350, and the P30 has 16 million pixels, and the IMX351.
Other minor differences are that the P30 supports IP53 waterproofing, the Pro version supports IP68 waterproofing, and the Pro version also supports 40W fast charging and 15W wireless fast charging, while the P30 does not. To sum up, the Pro version will have very complete flagship features, but the screen is a significant shortcoming compared to the standard version.
In terms of exterior design, the P30 and P30 Pro are no longer the same phone, except for the same color, the front screen look and feel and the rear camera arrangement are very different. The standard version only has three vertical cameras on the back, which looks a little more concise, while the Pro version has a small exclamation point in addition to the three cameras on the back, which is used to arrange the TOF camera and flash.
The back of the P30 Pro is 3D glass, which is very close to the hand, but it is not as rounded as the P20 Pro, and the whole material is relatively slippery, plus this shape and 208g weight, it is indeed easier to slip off. The P30 is an ordinary 2.5D glass, which is smaller in size and more comfortable to use, and the weight of 165g is also more suitable for long-term holding. The two models have their own advantages in terms of grip.
P30The screen of the standard version is a Samsung second-class A screen, manual maximum brightness 390 nits, automatic maximum brightness 570 nits, and this year compared with many E3 light-emitting materials Samsung screen is quite a big gap, but compared to P30 Pro's 1080P BOE Delta arrangement is still a very good screen.
The P30 series does not have a high-performance configuration option, and the SoC uses the HiSilicon Kirin 980. From the architectural point of view, Kirin 980 uses two A76 large cores (2.60GHz), two A76 medium cores (1.92GHz) plus four A55 small cores (1.80GHz), Snapdragon 855 is one A76 large core, the main frequency is increased to 2.84GHz, three A76 medium cores (2.4GHz), plus four A55 small cores (1.8GHz).
Judging from the Geekbench score, the Kirin 980 single-core is around 3300 points, while the Snapdragon 855 relies on a 2.84GHz large core, and the score is in the normal range of 3500-3600 points. In the multi-core section, the Snapdragon 855 is above 11,000 points, while the Kirin 980 is around 9,800 points. In terms of PCMark scores, the Snapdragon 855 is around 8900 points, and the Kirin 980 is around 7500 points. Overall, the CPU performance of the Kirin 980 is not as good as that of the Snapdragon 855.
In the GPU part, the Mali G76-MP10 of the Kirin 980 is at a disadvantage compared to the Adreno630 of the Snapdragon 845, and the gap is even more obvious compared to the Adreno640 of the Snapdragon 855. In the Car Chase off-screen tests, where GFxBench averages both low, the Snapdragon 855 was able to reach 42 fps, while the Kirin 980 was only able to reach 30 fps. In the 3DMark test, the Snapdragon 855 averaged above 5400 points, and the Kirin 980 scored below 3600 points, and in the test, the Kirin 980 also experienced frame drops that were visible to the naked eye.
In order to make up for the weakness of the GPU, Huawei uses GPU Turbo, but on some previous models, it is to reduce the screen resolution to achieve the effect of stable frame rate, and in the face of games with high GPU requirements, such as Honkai Impact III, there will still be frame rate fluctuations in long-term games.
Taking pictures is the selling point of the P series, and the main camera of the P30 standard version is also IMX600y, but it lacks optical image stabilization, the telephoto end is OV08A10, 8 million pixels, triple optical zoom, and the ultra-wide angle is the IMX351 with 16 million pixels. Although it is not as good as the Pro version in terms of specifications, it has a wide range of main lengths, and none of them are counted.
The imaging of the main camera is similar to the Pro version, as the first series to use the RYYB array, it also has a very obvious impact in the real shooting, and the imaging will appear yellow and reddish in a variety of scenes, especially in the scene with blue sky and green trees at the same time, the leaves will be obviously yellowish, losing their due vitality, and when there is a large amount of red and yellow in the scene at the same time, there will be serious problems with color reproduction. In terms of taking pictures, it is also possible to minimize the impact of the color filter array through algorithms, but it is difficult in video, because the processing time is very short, so when shooting videos, the phenomenon of yellowish faces often occurs.
When it comes to night scenes,The advantage of this high amount of light is very obvious,It is also from P30 onwards,Huawei's low-light shooting has become a unique selling point to exist,In the low-light scene where other mobile phones can't shoot things,P30The series can also shoot things,It's already unique。
The performance of the telephoto end depends on different scenes,At the time of 3x zoom,The standard version has been switched to the telephoto end,The resolution will be better than the Pro version,If it reaches 5x zoom,It's the turn of the Pro version to switch to the telephoto lens,The resolution will be surpassed,If you only occasionally use the telephoto lens in daily life,The standard version can actually meet this part of the needs。
In terms of charging range, there is a big difference between the standard version and the Pro version, the standard version of the 3650mAh battery, with the power consumption of the Kirin 980, it is not a big problem to use it for a day, but the 4200mAh battery of the Pro version is definitely more stable. The P30 standard version only supports 22.5W charging, and the maximum power online is 21W, and it takes 78 minutes to fully charge.
